Abstract
Ergonomic analyzes and interventions, as well as the adoption of anthropometric parameters have been used as a way to reduce physical stress in flight cabins, in determining spaces and in the selection of military pilots. The present study aims to collect data from the literature that clarify and/or justify the application of the concepts of ergonomics and anthropometrics in the definition of anthropometric requirements when developing or acquiring aircraft. It was found that one of the main factors that affect the quality of life and performance of pilots during the flight is the chairs present in the cabin and that some seats equipped on Brazilian Air Force aircraft do not offer the necessary comfort to their crews. For an accurate formulation of ergonomic requirements in aviation, it is essential to rely mainly on the experience of a large number of daily users, to the detriment of test pilots. The adoption of anthropometric parameters as criteria for admission and selection of pilots has been widely used.
